Sharpening the saw differs from the first six habits we covered in that it focuses on implementing all of them combined rather than bringing in a new method to become an effective leader. Here we emphasize the importance of practice by allowing the learners (us) to take advantage of the classroom setting and invest in practicing the six habits. We "tend our garden" by going beyond just settling with what knowledge we have obtained. This is the opportunity to improve our practice in the classroom and defining ourselves as a leader to be the absolute best.
I plan on continuing to sharpening my saw by writing down and detailing all of the habits and always having it with me while subbing. There will always be opportunities to enhance our leadership styles and this guide will be a visual reminder as to which habits I am successful in implementing and the ones that need more focus. Within my sphere of influence, my sister has been the person that I have discussed the six habits with and I want to take this opportunity to review them with her. I want her to identify her strengths and weaknesses and then be introduced to the seventh and final habit as her opportunity to practice them herself. I'm looking forward to continuing my practice if everything we've learned and bettering myself as an educational leader.
